Again, The Crying

Sen. Hillary Clinton teared up this morning at an event at the Yale Child Study Center, where she worked while in law school in the early 1970s.

Penn Rhodeen, who was introducing Clinton, began to choke up, leading Clinton’s eyes to fill with tears, which she wiped out of her left eye. At the time, Rhodeen was saying how proud he was that sheepskin-coat, bell-bottom-wearing young woman he met in 1972 was now running for president.

“Well, I said I would not tear up; already we’re not exactly on the path,” Clinton said with emotion after the introduction.

Clinton is holding a roundtable discussion with Connecticut women to talk about childcare and healthcare.

When Clinton got misty-eyed at an event in New Hampshire on Jan. 7, politicos and pundits filled hours discussing if it helped her, and Clinton eventually pointed to the moment as when she “found her voice” and turned the corner in the Granite State.

I don’t care what anyone says. This lady is 100% scripted. Calculating. Driven. Her thinking is obvious…if the “tear” thing worked in New Hampshire, it might work in Connecticut, so…

What amazes me are the people (ahem, women) out there who are enthusiastically supporting Hillary exclusively because she has a chance to be the first woman president. People need to wake up and realize who they’re dealing with here.
